Skamania Lodge, a magnificent mountain resort nestled on 175 wooded acres, located in the spectacular Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The rustic yet elegant, grand mountain lodge is located just 45 miles east of Portland, Oregon, on the Washington side of the Columbia River. 'Skamania' is the Chinook Indian word for 'swift water'. The resort, which overlooks the Columbia River is aptly named, as there are also over 70 waterfalls nearby, including the famous Multnomah Falls, which, at 620 feet, is the fifth highest waterfall in the United States. The Pacific Northwest Resort offers 254 nicely appointed guest rooms, a 22,000 square foot conference and event center, an 18-hole par 70 golf course, full service spa and fitness center which includes an indoor heated swimming pool, dry saunas and indoor and outdoor whirlpools, tennis, basketball, volleyball and hiking trails. Skamania Lodge features 254 guestrooms boasting either a commanding view of the Columbia River Gorge or the forests of the Cascade Mountains.
